Ladywell has a below average violent crime rate and a below average property crime rate for London.
Ladywell is a small neighborhood with a village feel that belies the fact that it's only about 6 miles/9.5 km from the hustle and bustle of central London. It has a lot to offer people who want some peace and quiet, though you'll be hard pressed to find much excitement. There are a few hidden gems here, however, including some bakeries and delis that have been around for ages
Most of the homes for purchase or for rent run a bit on the smaller side and you won’t find too many updates inside. Still, your dollar will go a lot further here than it would in other parts of the city.
Ladywell is bordered on the north by Lewisham, on the east by Hither Green, on the south by Catford, and on the west by Crofton Park.
